you till need to add the following missing items to your docker file

sudo apt install netcat lib32stdc++6 steamcmd

Hi everyone, first of all thanks for this work, I'm using LinuxGSM-Docker on an OMV server to host a Valheim server (great game!) and I have 2-3 technical questions.

First, I noticed that there is no "vi" or "nano" to edit my configuration files so I would like to install it but the account is not root... Could you please give me the root password so that I can make this addition and recreate an image for me?

Then there is something I don't understand. Why do I need to mount the next volume on my host when the "/home/lgsm" directory of the image is useless?

-v /path/to/lgsm:/home/lgsm/

I wanted to mount "-v /path/to/lgsm:/home/linuxgsm" instead to have a direct access to the tree from my host machine but even by doing the "chown -R 750:750" on the associated directory I can't execute the ./vhserver command on my container anymore... What I don't miss or understand ?

Thank you!

While running the machine and trying to start anything we receive the following error:
[ FAIL ] Viewing details (servertype): Ownership issues found Information! The current user (linuxgsm) does not have ownership of the following files: User Group File root root /home/linuxgsm/serverfiles root root /home/linuxgsm/serverfiles/logs root root /home/linuxgsm/serverfiles/test

It is impossible for these file shares to change their ownership after creation, so the owner remains root, however access is still given, why is it important who is the owner for the folder?
While the limitation of the used SMB protocol is not an issue to be solved by LinuxGSM, it also calls into question why a non-root user is being used? Usually containers just run in root.

After the latest update on 19 of January 2023 (digest 11cd7e3a273f), the Unraid OS can no longer get the manifest to determine the version of the container. After some research, this is what Unraid receives:

{"errors":[{"code":"MANIFEST_UNKNOWN","message":"OCI index found, but accept header does not support OCI indexes"}]}

Edit: I have purposed a fix on the Unraid forums about this. It is not an error of this project.

as the title states - a server with the name l4d2server is created correctly
but a server with the name l4d2server-2 does not get created

I'm following instructions from the guide as seen here:

this is my log output:

I created a fork to create a docker-compose example , and I am trying to figure out an easy maintainable solution permission wise.

https://github.com/takov751/LinuxGSM-Docker

So far what seems to be a promising solution for that is that we would run before starting up docker-compose
as in the description with one extra step
sudo groupadd -g 750 lgsm && sudo usermod -aG lgsm $USER
inside the docker-compose we could use the function called `group_add:

• lgsm ` which would connect them together the group inside and outside of docker. So this way our user has group permission for the files of lgsm docker. I am waiting for feedback from those whom are more familiar with the LinuxGSM itself as I think there could be room for optimization in long term docker wise I mean. Great project and I already using the dockered version vhserver and it's working like a charm

Can't build the image,

The docker build stops at step 7/15

I did this over the weekend and wanted to share with Linux GSM devs. Thanks again for maintaining a docker image and making dedicated server management easy.

https://github.com/samrocketman/docker-compose-lgsm-rust-dedicated-server

I'll close this issue tomorrow once some devs had a chance to see it.

Please add tags to your images at https://hub.docker.com/r/gameservermanagers/linuxgsm-docker/tags

We would like to use the provided image but relying on "latest" isn't really great since this could mean that our image breaks from one day to another if you guys add/change something about your image.

I know Docker isn't yet officially supported but I think this would already be a great step forward.

The Dockerfile attempts to add the linuxgsm user twice. It also attempts to switch to the newly-created linuxgsm user without changing the CWD from / and download the linuxgsm.sh script, which fails due to lack of write privileges.

See the following output from an attempt to run docker build .

I am getting the above error when trying to start any linuxgsm container for the past 5ish days.

steamcmd is missing in dockerfile and is needed as a dependency for vhserver.

I'm currently implementing a possible fix on my local DockerFile that y'all gave me to see if that resolves the issue. But seems that the wget attempts to download gets a 301 redirect and begins downloading it, but on this attempt it fails because of permission Denied. Technically it should be on /home/linuxgsm to do the download, but I'm currently doing a force using -O to see if that resolves the issue. I'll keep you guys updated.
The error has been provided. This error prevents the creation of the docker image. And I'm still consider a novice to docker development so not sure how to enter a docker that is not running and fails to run lol.

I was thinking while looking at the code. Would it be a more friendly construction to have a Linuxgsm docker with docker privileges and then each game server would be a separated docker managed by the main linuxgsm container . I perfectly understand that would be a fundamental change, which might not be ideal due it would me to rebase the whole project with different principals in mind . I was just interested in you contributors though

When running docker image and running container it shows errors in entrypoint.sh file:

entrypoint.sh: line 2: $'\r': command not found
entrypoint.sh: line 3: syntax error near unexpected token $'{\r'' 'ntrypoint.sh: line 3: exit_handler () {

The command for docker in the readme needs to be updated to point to the correct image on DockerHub:

docker run --name lgsm-docker --restart always --net=host --hostname LGSM -it -v "/path/to/lgsm:/home/lgsm/" gameservermanagers/linuxgsm-docker

Setting up a Project Zomboid dedicated server & all seems to be running well.

Only gripe I have is the log path that's TAIL'd via 'entrypoint.sh' is LGSM's...the 5min MONITOR log

What I see today:

...
Aug 28 18:05:13.657 pzserver: MONITOR: INFO: * Server CPU Model: AMD Ryzen 3 3100 4-Core Processor
Aug 28 18:05:13.659 pzserver: MONITOR: INFO: * Server CPU Frequency: 3600.000
Aug 28 18:05:13.660 pzserver: MONITOR: INFO: * Server RAM: 32GB

Aug 28 18:05:13.668 pzserver: MONITOR: PASS: core_exit.sh exiting with code: 0
...

Would be optimal, to me, to be able to utilize an ENV variable, instead of redirecting/merging the .../Zomboid/Logs via VOLUME into the LGSM 'log/script' folder (hacky, but SHOULD work)

FROM:

./${GAMESERVER} details

tail -f log/script/*

# with no command, just spawn a running container suitable for exec's

TO:

./${GAMESERVER} details

tail -f {LOGPATHTOTAIL}/*

# with no command, just spawn a running container suitable for exec's

...unless I'm missing something quiet obvious (Docker being still relatively new for me)

Hey Ho,

I managed to run factorio, ark, 7D2D and arma3 within docker.
I saw that you started working on "dockerizing" lgsm. I have some experience with docker so far and would like to help.
Since I dont know how to contact you via Github, I do it by creating this issue.

What I did so far is to create an base-image and build docker container for each server on top of it. If you are interested I can share my work with you.

Feel free to contact me =) I would like to help as much as I can!!

Best,
Avendretter

Hello,
I'm trying to help out with a new approach for docker container integration.
I made some progress so far, but i have to overcome some limitations of docker/LinuxGSM:

I use a run.sh as entrypoint and therefore i need a proper PID 1 process for the container.
Due to the fact, that gameserver start spawns the server as new process, i can't use it.
Therefor it would be perfect, if some gameserver log command would exist, that outputs the gameserver logs into the shell like
gameserver debug does and runs as long as the gameserver does.

Then, the run.sh could look like this:
#!/bin/bash
....
su -c "gameserver start" $user
su -c "gameserver log" $user

With this aproach, docker logs -f gameserver-container would flawlessly provide all the logging from the gameserver.

Cheers

Popular mods like Exile needs a database connector like extDB2.so for server side. By default extDB2.so need some shared libraries but unfortunately one of them is not installed in the ubuntu image by default:

linuxgsm@e56d774892df:~/serverfiles/@ExileServer$ ldd extDB2.so
        linux-gate.so.1 (0xf7fc9000)
        libtbbmalloc.so.2 => not found
        libdl.so.2 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libdl.so.2 (0xf7fb8000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libm.so.6 (0xf72fb000)
        libpthread.so.0 => /lib/i386-linux-gnu/libpthread.so.0 (0xf7f95000)

        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xf7fcb000)

The solution is easy: just sudo apt-get install libtbb2:i386 but sadly that step is required every time I start the service via docker-compose up.

Is it possible to add lib32z1 and gdb to the official image, because not every time there is an opportunity to rebuild the image from the source.

As you can see i am following the install process then at the end of it the install fails and spits out a network error. I have run this 12 times. I am also using the default configuration. So either the latest ark is broke, the steam server is cutting out or you have shipped a buggy image. Everywhere online i see others have encountered same error except they didn't wait 2 hours of installing ark to encounter it. And no there are no permission problems.
